The bloke was to become a good friend. Sadly he no longer has pigeons. He showed me his pigeons, and I recall being giv...

Re: George Harrison Pigeons

Mmm, yes they were. But I don't know what happened. I guess they became very inbred and the start of the importation of good modern pigeons from Europe made them redundant.

Re: What would your choice be.

Cock. 100% of the time. Yes the female or 'tail' line is the basis of your family, but once in a million you get a male, be it a stallion, a bull, a greyhound, or for our purposes, a pigeon. The animal has that rare thing called prepotence. The ability to throw the winning genes into it's progeny. I...

Re: Thank you to the members

I have spoken to Dev this morning. He assured me it is nothing to do with anything anyone said. He says he just needs time out. He has had things hard lately with his own health, Maria’s health along with losing a good friend recently. His friends funeral is tomorrow. Great to hear that. I know Dev...
